The story of Preston and Krysta's steamy love story began in August of 2021, when the two met inside of a Chuze Fitness sauna. It was an instant connection between them, as they realized they had much in common and shared more time in a sauna than any two people should. After 35 minutes in the heat, both sweaty and quickly losing hydration, Preston knew he needed to shoot his shot and ask this beautiful woman on a date. With the help of Krysta's longtime friend Robyn, the two exchanged phone numbers, agreeing to meet for their first date. A few days later, Krysta decided to give that young buck a shot and met him at Mother Tucker Brewery for a beer and good company. Once again, they found themselves awestruck in each other’s company, knowing instantly that there was more to this than anyone could have anticipated. After several more dates consisting of yard games, going to the shooting range, and of course walking aimlessly around Walmart, they found themselves on a campground near Turquoise Lake surrounded by friends, puppies, and views. After the perfect weekend, our couple affirmed their feelings for one another and said their initial “I do” of becoming boyfriend and girlfriend. From then on, our smitten couple never missed a beat growing together and creating memories. Down the road, our couple awoke in Colorado Springs after a night of fun with old friends. This was the moment Preston knew it was time to let the woman of his dreams know how he felt about her. Staring deep into her eyes, time was slipping away, and that is when Preston began to say what was on his mind. Without a second to reflect, the words came out of his mouth… “I think I love you.” Krysta continued staring for a moment and then replied… “You think?! I know I love you!” Our brave heroes never looked back from this fateful day, and moved on to live through big life events hand in hand such as buying homes, celebrating holidays, coming together with family, moving in together, traveling, adventuring, and living every day to the fullest. To Preston, Krysta was his rock as she supported him through difficult journeys, including changing jobs and becoming a police officer. Preston returned the favor going above and beyond to make time for his love and supporting her through all that life brought her way as well, assuring her that whatever they were met with, the two, as long as they were together, would pass all of life’s tests. The gusts of love carried our adored voyagers through the seas and made clear their next destination. The two found themselves in May 2023 with a four-day weekend and an itch to go on a mini vacation. While Krysta’s mind was set on planning and creating the perfect four-day extravaganza, Preston’s efforts were elsewhere. You see, Preston decided that this trip would be a perfect time to ask the love of his life to become his wife. Preston snuck off while Krysta was at work to the magical land of expensive jewelry to find the right ring to place upon Krysta’s finger. After meeting with our friend in the jewelry business, The Shane Company, Preston found the perfect ring. With a rush order, hasty packing, and four hours of driving, our veteran lovers had reached a faraway land… Glenwood Springs. During the trip, while on a hike overlooking Mount Sopris, Preston (holding back tears), got down on one knee, and stumbled through a speech that in turn lead to the hand picked ring being placed upon Krysta’s finger. Krysta, after hearing Preston pronounce his love atop that mountain, replied with the utmost excitement, “Yes! I will marry you.” Today, our two lovebirds are excited to be joined in holy matrimony in front of family, friends, and their two adored puppies Paisley and Ahsoka. This is the story of Preston and Krysta. Although their story is far from over, they look forward for all to join them on August 23 for the wedding and the best party they will ever throw.
